This function (respecting the frame numbers and the exposures of each instance) will come in very handy if the vertical X-sheet is ever improved to behave more like the Timeline , but in the classic vertical X-sheet format as had been discussed here: Refining the X-sheet Behavior .

Please add options directly in TVPaint to rename instances the way that Mads Juul's 'Tracker Shortcuts Tool' will rename instances respecting the exposure (whether on 1's or 2's , 3's, etc.) of the instances , relative to the frame number the instances are located on.

If you rename these with the TVPaint 11 renamer to add a prefix (say "RK-" for "running kid" ) ... if those drawings are exposed ON 1's they are renamed automatically as RK-1 , RK-2, RK-3, RK-4 , RK-5 , RK-6 , RK-7, RK-8, RK-9, RK-10, RK-11, RK-12, RK-13, RK-14, RK-15, RK-16 ... so far , so good ... if the drawings are intended to be exposed ON 1's this is as it should be.

BUT let's say you have those 16 drawings exposed ON 2's and you renamed them ? With the current TVPaint 11 renamer it renames them as if they are single frame exposures:
